Widescreen Gaming Forum

I didn't realize AMD support wasn't working. Bummer. I recently switched from 2x6870's to the 680 GTX. Each (Eyefinity vs NVS) have pros and cons, but I've been pleased with the change overall. I do miss AMD's quick menu and hotkeys to change monitor configs.

As to the crash, I haven't had any, but I don't have any great ideas about why mine has been different. Perhaps SLI related? I'm running a single 680 with latest Windows patches and Nvidia drivers as of 8/16/2012 (non-beta).

Other than that, specs are 2nd gen i7 @ 4.4 ghz, 680GTX 2GB, 16 GB DDR3, SSD/HD combo with Steam on HD, X-Fi titanium sound, TrackIR, 360 gamepad, Saitek joysitck, Thurstmaster wheel, MS Sidewinder Mouse/kbd, 3x 24" Viewsonic + 1 47" Westinghouse, Windows 7 Pro x64 + MS Security essentials and built in firewall with exceptions.

As for the game, it is fun both single player and co-op with nice graphics and sound and a cool timed kill mechanic. Gadgets are fun. Story is typical. Haven't tried competitive multiplayer and probably won't.

Good luck!

Just to be clear, patch 1.4 fixed multi-monitor for everybody AFAIK - i.e not only Nv Surround, but also Eyefinity, and probably TripleHead2go etc. ;)
The game seems to have perfect Hor+ support now, I'll try to post a DR soon.

Umm, this might take longer than I expected... WS support is actually quite messed up :
- on an AMD card, WS is anamorphic 16:9.
- on a Nvidia card, non-16:9 WS is squished.
Of course I tried disabling Surround, setting the desktop to 16:10 and rebooting, DX11 on/off etc., to no avail. I just can't get letterboxing to kick in on my Nvidia rig.

Guess I'll have to take screenies and report to Ubi...
If you guys could run the game in non-16:9 widescreen, tell me how's the picture (letterboxed? squished?) and specify your GPU, that'd help me confirm that brand-based support theory.

The bug report's done, hope it makes good sense: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/686379-Bugs-Report-FPS-Resolution?p=8595328&viewfull=1#post8595328
I've also submitted the issue to Ubi tech support.
